Jeff Otah was once one of the best right tackles in the league, but injuries have limited him to 4 games over the last 2 seasons. Now supposedly healthy, Otah will have to earn his starting job back from incumbent Byron Bell. Otah was at OTAs and able to participate 100%, but worked out with the 2nd team, while Bell stayed with the 1st team.
Bell was one of the worst offensive tackles in the league last year according to ProFootballFocus, ranking 67th among 76 offensive tackles. He allowed 7 sacks, 24 pressures, committed 12 penalties and was well below average against the run. It shouldn’t take much for Otah to surpass him on the depth chart if he is in fact healthy. When healthy, Otah, once the 19th overall pick in the 2008 draft, is an excellent football player.
